Federal Court Ruling from the Courier Mail, Queensland, Australia:
A seven year old boy was at the centre of a courtroom drama
yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should
have custody of him.
The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the
judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with
the child custody law and regulations requiring that family
unity be maintained to the degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt
beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live
with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his
grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.
After considering the remainder of the immediate family and
learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life
among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing
the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
After two recesses to check legal references and confer with
child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to
the New South Wales State of Origin team, whom the boy firmly
believes are not capable of beating anyone.
